Does higher psychosocial stress increase the risk of mortality, CVD, CHD, and stroke events in a global population-based cohort?
Higher psychosocial stress is significantly associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular events across diverse global populations.
This cohort study found that higher psychosocial stress, measured as a composite score of self-perceived stress, life events, and financial stress, was significantly associated with mortality as well as with CVD, CHD, and stroke events.
Santosa et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
